AND OTHER EXTENDED ILLUSTRATIONS FOR PROCLAIMERS OF THE WORD
I WAS DRIVING along a rural road recently when the car in front of me swerved off the shoulder and came to a sudden stop. The driver jumped out of the car and ran up a small bank, grabbing
a large stick with which he immediately began to flail wildly at the ground.
I stopped and rushed up to the man, certain that he had encountered some vicious threat to human life. But I was wrong.
"Why did you kill it?" I asked. "It was only a blacksnake."
